I don't think this is really a good idea. HTTP and HTML aren't perfect, but they've been made into ubiquitous standards already used by everyone. In order to switch to a new standard, you'd need to have a pretty convincing way in which it was better. And I don't think you can ultimately outbalance what we have now. Not to mention that the only way this could probably actually happen would be through Google doing it, which would be disastrous for the open nature of the standards.

There's plenty of ways in which we could improve on the current setup. Everything could be so much easier, for one thing. Basic things like animation, drag & drop and responsive design all require libraries or extensive knowledge to get them right. Something like websockets is not exactly accessible to a beginner, but there is a huge need for online content that supports live interaction. You are right that it's not going to be easy to get everyone on board, but that should not be a reason to stop trying.
